Transaction Advisory & M&A

Clarity and confidence at every stage of a deal

Acquisitions, fundraises, joint ventures and exits are high-stakes events. The quality of due diligence, structuring and documentation directly shapes the value you eventually realise.

Our transaction advisory team brings together financial, tax and regulatory expertise to guide you through every phase of a deal, from initial structuring to closing. We act on buy-side and sell-side mandates and work alongside legal counsel, investment bankers and private equity sponsors so that deals close cleanly and on the agreed terms.

Our work is grounded in commercial reality. We ask the questions a buyer would ask before they are asked, and we surface issues early enough to address them.

We focus on quality of earnings, working capital, contingent exposures and the issues that affect price.

Tax-first structuring

Multi-disciplinary teams

Tax, audit, valuation and regulatory specialists work as one team on every transaction.

Through to closing

We stay engaged through SPA negotiation, closing accounts and post-closing adjustments.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do you do both buy-side and sell-side diligence?

Yes. Our methodology adapts to whether we are protecting value for a buyer or presenting it for a seller.

Are your valuations accepted by tax authorities and regulators?

Valuations are prepared in accordance with the applicable Income-tax, FEMA and Companies Act requirements. Where the law requires a Registered Valuer, the report is issued by one.

Can you support cross-border M&A?

Yes. Our team works across FEMA, FDI and Companies Act structuring requirements.

Can you work alongside our investment banker and legal counsel?

Yes. We regularly operate as part of an integrated deal team.
